One of the fabled axioms of journalism from the inception of the media has been PUBLISH AND BE DAMNED and I am very delighted and gratified that other journalists are leaving no stone unturned to follow the axiom by saying it as it is, never mind the many sycophantic news outlets and blogs supporting Maada Bio’s perfidy in Sierra Leone . The days are gone when only one journalist is tarred and feathered for pulling the carpet from under Maada Bio.
Thanks to you, Publisher Abdul Rashid Thomas for your PUBLISH- AND – BE – DAMNED attitude to the misgovernance, witch hunts, human rights abuses and destruction of democracy in our beloved Mama Sierra Leone by the Bio oligarchy. Continue to stand for the truth by publishing it as it is. There must be no respite for the wicked.
It is very true that Bio is trying to destroy the APC. This demonic SLPP President and his party came to power with a demonstrated diabolical vengeance and ambition to destroy the APC. But Bio is an imbecile who does not see beyond his nose. He has done everything to destroy the APC but the party rather remains unconquerable and growing in international goodwill.
Maada Bio put every machinery in place to cheat the APC during the 2023 elections, including staging a criminal census and bogus registration process but the SLPP still could not defeat the APC and Bio had to steal the elections and risk the international condemnation, isolation and sanctions he and his government have been receiving from the U. S and the international community since his broad daylight robbery .
When will Pa Wonie Bio’s undemocratic and nebulous son learn that he cannot destroy the APC ? He has done everything but the APC , even with all the sellouts by some of its leading actors and actresses , has kept its head proudly above water . Through trying to destroy the APC, Bio has done incalculable harm to himself and his party. Do not mind the noise of the SLPP blood hounds on social media. They know they are not succeeding.
The realization has dawned on them that they cannot destroy the APC. The harder the try, the stronger the APC gets and the more sympathy and support from the international community. Look at the mediated inter party dialogue and the communique initiated by the international community.
Who would have expected that when ECOWAS sent a concerned team of Presidents ( Senegal’ s Macky Sall and Ghana’s Nana Akuffo Addo) to Sierra Leone over the weekend, the team did not only hold closed door meetings with Bio but even former President Ernest Koroma, whom the SLPP wants to destroy by associating him with a bogus coup attempt. If ECOWAS could hold a closed door meeting with Ernest Koroma under the present restricted and accused circumstances EBK is presently facing , what should that tell Maada Bio ? It is not working, old boy.
APC cannot be destroyed and will definitely return to power in Sierra Leone and bring joy back to our people.
